A deeply felt and engaging personal account of Zimbabwe's political
awakening by one of its best-known historians. I did not set out
for Rhodesia as a radical' writes Terence Ranger. This memoir of
the years between 1957, when he first went to Southern Rhodesia,
and 1967 when he published his first book, is both an intimate
record of the African awakening which Ranger witnessed during those
ten years, and of the process which led him to write Revolt in
Southern Rhodesia. Intended as both history and as historiography,
Writing Revolt is also about the ways in which politics and history
interacted. The men with whom Ranger discussed Zimbabwean history
were the leaders of African nationalism; his seminar papers were
sent to prisons and into restricted areas. Both they and he were
making political as well as intellectual discoveries. The book also
includes a brief account of Ranger's life before he went to Africa.
TERENCE RANGER was Emeritus Rhodes Professor of Race Relations,
University of Oxfordand author of many books including Are we not
also Men? (1995), Voices from the Rocks (1999) and Bulawayo Burning
(2010), and co-editor of Violence and Memory (2000). Zimbabwe &
Southern Africa (South Africa, Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland, and
Namibia): Weaver Press
